During the past year lots of people were made anxious by a number of predictions about forthcoming disasters, both natural and manmade, highlighting the fragile and precarious nature of human civilization. Add to this all the various types of armed conflict and other blatant manifestations of greed, hatred, and delusion, and it's no wonder that anxiety is so widespread these days. Yet, I find it highly meaningful and inspiring that we come together like this every year as representatives of our respective faiths, all for the sake of improving society. Most of you here today have been involved with the MWR for many years already, during which time we have come to forge a common vision. Now let us make a devout prayer for happiness and prosperity in the nation, and peace and well-being in the world. In this precious opportunity we have to come together, let us imbibe the power of goodness present throughout the universe, the enlightened nature existent in all beings, the ultimate source of peace and happiness in the world. May all genuine religions provide guidance and spiritual sustenance during these troubled times. Let us pray for peace in our hearts and peace in the world. Let our love for peace and love for the Earth join together and grow, transforming all negativity into auspiciousness, and joining all beings into one big family. May our prayers and blessings become a tangible force of goodness in the world. ◎心道法師
